MISER-LONGLEY.

Eugene Frank Wiser of Prescott, On.
tario, and Miss Evelyn Longley of Mat
land were united in marriage at St
James church, Maitland, Ontario, on
the evening of May "a, Rev. Richard
Lewis of st. James and Rev. E. Craw-
ford of Rockville, officiating. The
church had been handsomely decorated
by the friends of the young couple in
honor of the event. After the ceremo-
ny the party proceeded to Maplehurst,
the home of the bride, where a most
brilliant reception was held. After the
guests had presented their congratula-
lions to the happy pair. the dancing be-
gan, the first quadrille being led by the
bride and groom. At IL o'clock the
dining room doors were thrown open
and the guests sat down to an elegant
repast.
Mr.. Harvey Wiser, in few appro-
pirate remarks, proposed the toasts of
the queen and president, which was re-
sponded to by Rev. E. p. Crawford,
who then proposed the health of the
bride. The groom replied in a few
well-chOsen remarks, and then pro
posed the bridesmaids, which was ably
responded to by the best 'man. Other
toasts followed, the last being the Ia
dies, replied to by Mr.. c. Jones of

HOW TO BOOM.

The following, which we find in an
exchange, is well worth reading and
considering by our business men who
wish to see Emporia prosper. Let the
would-be boomers of our city put them
selves in the place of any of the people
in the east or elsewhere whose:attentIon
they wish to attract. Would an article
in Kansas City or any other paper,
no matter how finely written or how
glowingly painted, speaking of the adj
vantages of Emporia, impress them
one-half as much as a few copies of,
| for instance, THE NEWS, with its well
filed advertising columns rejecting the
business interests of the city in man
ner which no foreign paper could? This
is a question worth studying over:
A Wichita business man, who grew
rich in the boom of that city, tells the
Carthage, (MO.) Patriot how it came
about, as follows:
We organized. We held almost night
ly meetings, and among the first things
we agreed upon was to hang together
and stay by each other through thick
and thin.
We advertised by hundreds of thous-
ands of circulars. We set forth all our
advantages in such manner that
strangers who were led by our circulars
| to give us calls were not deceived, but,
on the contrary, agreed that we had not
| put 1t as strong as we might. Every
town in the east of notoriety was not
only served with our circulars but our
newspapers.
And the newspaper advertising did
double duty. Our people made it rule
to advertise in our local papers and ask
all their friends to advertise.
We Then subscribed fW 4 large mum
Der of copies, loaded with local adver-
Using and full accounts of our future
prospects and great advantages, and
we found by conversing with parties
who finally came here prospecting that
the full advertising columns of our pa
pers which they saw did more than all
else to impress them with the growth
and Importance of the place. We
found that we could not Overdo the
thing-that the more we paid out for
these purposes the more were our
profits. Every newcomer was a GUS
toner to most of our stores, and while
their advertising paid to them rich re-
turns, it served the double purpose to
impress the eastern man, who had an
eye to business, with the fact that
Wichita was a rising town, and thus
we have gone on, until we have added
population since came here of over
20 900, and property has increased in
business places more than 1000 fold,
and in the country round about us the
appreciation has been over 400 per cent.
You have in times gone by done a
great deal of advertising for me, as
you know, but l know as well as you
can know that printers ink is the best
capital to boom town. Had we not
used it unsparingly, Wichita would not
have been larger than Carthage. AS it
is we shall soon outrank any town in
the state.

EMPoRLA COLLEGE.


We are in RECEIPT of neatly printed
programme of the ''commeneent exer-
cises" of EmpOria College. 1t indi-
Gates very clearly the substantial pro
gress that has been made in this young
institution. Four years ago this college
had not began to exist. Now it comes
forward before the public with pro-
gramme that would reflect credit upon
an institution that had reached the age
of score of years. Evidently the course
of study here is equal to any in our
state, if not in the entire land. Indeed
we are informed that the cur
curriculum is largely patterned after
that of the famous college at Princeton,
New Jersey.
The studies of the present year have
included such great classic authors as
Horace, Tacitus, Liyy, Caesar, Cicero,
Lycias, Thucydides, and others in the
Latin and Greek tongues. In the mod
ern languages the authors studied have
bee Goethe, Schiller, Racine, Fleury
and Victor Hugo. The studies in
mathematics have ranged all the way
from the higher arithmetic, through
algebra, geometry, trigonometry and
surveying to analytical geometry.
Besides these, the subjects of English
language, bellies lettres and physical
science have received due degree of
attention. There is a thorough and
Exhaustive treatment of all these sub
jects.
The annual examinations commenced
on Thursday, June 9th, and continued
to the following Tuesday. On Sunday
afternoon, June 14th, the closing re-
ligious services will be held in the
chapel at p. m, when a discourse
suitable to the occasion will be deliv-
ed by President Hendy.
The art class have about one
hundred pieces of work completed and
these will be exhibited in the art room
on Tuesday from 2 to 7 p. m. Those
who have attended the former exhibit
lions of Miss Abbot's pupils will gladly
avail themselves of the opportunity to
be on hand again this year.
Probably the principal event of the
commencement this year will be the
address of the Hon. w. G. p. Breck.
inridge before the literary societies or
Tuesday avening June 18th. Col
Breckenridge is the representative il
Congress from the Henry Clay district
of Kentucky. He is reputed tC
be the foremost orator in his
state. He will be greeted, we are sure
by one of the largest audiences thai
ever gathered in Emporia.
Every citizen of this place may wei
take a just pride in the progress of oul
home college. Its stately edifice anC
ample grounds are the chief pride o
our city, and it behoOves us all to sec
ond the earnest efforts of the men VIII,
are toiling SO diligently to place tn
college in the forefront of American
institutions.

TILE NEWS

Were the whole story of the discovery
of gas canard and no truth whatever
in it; should it prove hereafter
that the alleged discovery is an ignis
fatuus, still would the position of THE
NEWS be correct in giving its readers
full and complete details of the story as
circulated, and especially so when these
are backed by men of the known intelli-
gence, ability and standing of Drs.
McCandless and Janeway. AS usual,
our superanuated neighbor is, like the
cows tail, always behind. just such
incidents as this discovery of gas, and
the manner in which THE NEWS
handled it, is one of the many reasons
why this paper is becoming SO popular
and why its subscription list so rap
idly increases. 1t takes more than the
kind wishes of neighbors to make either
an editor or successful newspaper. 1t
takes energy, enterprise and unceasing
labor, and especially does it demand the
publication of all the news, especially
of local nature and in which our en-
tire city is interested.

sheet had howl in its columns be-
cause its weekly edition of about a
dozen papers was not distributed
through the mails so as to reach sub
scribers before the Monday following,
and at the same time throwing out
some slurs at mail agents. This morn
ing, on making inquiry, we were
creditably informed that said papers

have been mailed on Thursday last,
was not mailed up to nearly noon of

mailed. Hartford people should make
a note of this, and lay the blame where
it belongs, at the publishing office.

THE hostility of the New York Sun
to the denomination of President Cleve-
land grows apace. Take this rs a re-
cent sample of its bitter opposition:
If the South is so delighted with Mr..
Cleveland, it would be great pity for
the feelings of that region IL, aftei the
5th day of March, 1883, he should cease
to be their president, and yet that is an
event which is pretty certain to happen.
The only certain way in which the
South could retain Mr.. Cleveland as
their executive would be to establish
another government and make him the
more or less permanent head thereof,
but acts of that sort do not enter into
the calculations of modern statesmen,
and such an one is not likely to be seri-
ously considered now, even for Mr..
Cleveland's sake.
